i mean. there are. dozens of hostages seized by al-qaeda linked insurgents are reported dead and following a botched rescue attempt by the country's military. and the crisis in algeria causes david cameron to once again delay a much anticipated speech on the u.k.'s future within the european union. as israel gets ready to go to the polls prime minister benjamin netanyahu struggles to maintain support for his reelection bid.

it is i am in the russian capital you're watching r t was me marina josh welcome to the program. algeria says there are a number of dead and injured following a hostage rescue attempt at a gas plant near its border with libya there are also reports indicating that at least thirty captives and eleven militants have been killed in the operation by the country's military and al-qaeda linked group occupy the plant on wednesday claiming the hostage capture which included many foreigners was in retaliation for french military intervention in neighboring mali french president francois hollande said that the situation means that the operation to oust as lawmakers militants is justified fighting continues across mali with paris increasing its presence on the ground to four thousand five hundred troops that has pledged to help train the mali army while the u.s. also promised logistical support but stopped short of the point its own military

author and historian gerald horne says the fall out from the weak old intervention could eventually backfire and result in president obama being forced out of office . what mr old law is doing is enlarging and worsening an existing problem what's striking is that mr z. had initiated this intervention in libya and part raises for it being a popularity ratings i think that it's fair to say that mr mccoll on this intervention in mali for similar reasons the problem is that when the body bags returning to paris the populace will turn on mr along with a vengeance and he will be driven from office just as surely as sort of the what's driven from office i think that this war and the consequences of want to spread into neighboring countries is going to jeopardize french uranium interest in nigeria it's going to jeopardize the kinds of agreements that france and the other

north atlantic countries have withheld here in terms of natural gas so i think that if they have thought through what they were getting themselves into they would not have moved in the direction of an invasion i dare say that this french intervention in mali will end in tears. meanwhile the ongoing situation algeria has caused british prime minister david cameron to indefinitely postponed his much anticipated speech on the u.k. status within the excerpts released from the state and say there is a danger that europe will fail and that there is a looming possibility of britain leaving the blog on last reforms are carried out already sarah ferguson says by delaying the speech cameron has put himself into an increasingly tight spot. this long awaited fourth speech is now being put back the prime minister saying this is cheetah the own growing crisis at the algerian gas plant now obviously we see the situation there developing and the prime minister saying that it's a very dangerous very fluid situation but i think the prime minister really in this

circumstance assert himself for a full reflectance of wide open to the criticism here we saw this speech arranged for right back last year around gene time it's been put back four times already. various different reasons at one point the prime minister having joked comparing the species to tantric sex saying if you know the best so when it actually comes you know that's not looking particularly funny anymore and people wondering when if indeed it will ever come well everyone was looking for from the speech was clarity leadership over this issue we've been speaking to a lot of the british public over the past few weeks and they're very confused about what cameron stance is on europe one n.p.r. was speaking to said despite this is the tale that's wagging the dog that this hard core group of euro skeptics within his own party were really dictating the prime minister's actions and i think it's really going to wash. really predictive self

into the corner where he's got to have a referendum after an election and he will try a school for politicians to use to paper over the cracks to give a bit to them a bit to them and say that we now are looking for europe to make a response to our proper requests for david cameron as prime minister he's definitely in a tight spot right now he's he's not looking particularly strong he's not looking like he's led the way and so you know he is in a lot of trouble here we seem to speak today once again so the uncertainty continues i'm afraid. not tough enough right wing supporters turn their backs on prime minister netanyahu with former allies winning votes with harsh rhetoric later on we reported on israel's upcoming parliamentary election and still in shambles the fibers of october superstorm sandy are struggling to get their lives back to normal feeling a little help from u.s.

authorities will be telling their stories just about ten minutes time here in our team so stay with us for that. pakistan's government has reached a deal with a muslim cleric to hold mass protest in the capital islamabad tan's of thousands of qadri supporters and the sit in after he convinced authorities to dissolve parliament before march ahead of elections after that voting should take place with a ninety days they've also agreed to discuss electoral reforms should however conferees demands what that the army be consulted on the structure of the interim administration was rejected political chaos and growing fury over a widespread corruption was also deepening after the government clashed with the

country's top court its order to arrest the prime minister over corruption case has been rejected professor paul sheldon food from california state university says qadri some messages raises a lot of questions is what they want to change his. campaign talks very big he says he believes in supporting minority rights and i haven't heard him can do only murders. shiites by in large numbers he claims to have been a professor of constitutional law says that only he can understand what the prophet mohammed meant and this is a myth of actions the people who wrote aka stunt always depended upon the west particularly the british but there are programs to such as america. and to have the indication you have both international support and some money. is always a good indicator when you're running against the wealthiest families and hardest on

earth do you know much in results don't come out the way he once you have claimed it was a rupture of the process the only a man such as him couldn't run a real islamic democracy process pakistan is already an islamic republic. used to be very precise about why he regards it as a failure or simply citing corruption is not enough mass rally staged by influential cleric in pakistan only added to pakistan's uncertainty seeking a litle reforms democracy and bar on corruption to hear qadri has called for a revolution before the deal was reached r.t. has talked exclusively to protest leader but told us exactly what he means by that . when i see evolution we should keep in your mind in egypt in tunis in libya and all these countries. we need to be dictatorship for years and years for a long time. and the people stood up against that in iran there was it would

magically a rule of shen shah that people stood up against that. dystonic is a bit different. there is no one else rude neither monadic illude nor the military dictatorship here is electoral authority did twenty billion is electoral dictatorship true democracy does not exist in this society neither in political field nor in social feed nor in economic field no democracy so this is a lot less and less total chaos and i doubt it in this country government is totally dysfunctional. saw this is the single nation a single country in the whole muslim world and then a nuclear capability and if the same situation continues there could be a very big disaster if we could come to the level of collapse so out of this modern movement is anti corruption to educate our society from corruption and this is need

of the whole muslim world. and all total world and developing muslim countries the have to get to the end of corruption and corrupt leaders. while in see our interview with pakistan's top cleric in full at r t to hama here's a glimpse of what else you can find there. was a line through that showing how a fire man was almost knocked from his ladder by huge slab of snow after his lucky escape he continued to say the lines of the woman and the baby traps in the apartment warrant out on our website. and it's not a sin to be beautiful a top vatican clary graces the cover of vanity fair for more on this story and much more due hand to r.t. dot com and the news continues after a. heartbreaks. i've

and. cool i. welcome back you're watching actually coming to live from moscow now i have the twenty second of january election israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has to

deal with plummeting poll figures was manny viewing his politics as not radical and elf although still expected to return until office netanyahu is losing supporters to his former right wing allies r.t.s. policy here now reports. he's the surprise success story which campaign one tween millionaire uses a palestinian state would be suicide for his room enough to be bennett used to work for prime minister netanyahu but now he's working at taking supporters away from him like this man who used to be a diehard supporter of netanyahu so he could party until these elections rolled around the likud is. a bus full of right wing members of knesset with a lift wing person driving the bus. as far as being i mean. even though i am opposed to it. i would say most members of the likud obviously is for it the irony is that while the world sees netanyahu as

a one two leader at home he's losing face among supporters for not being focused enough this is part of the right wing campaign he's up against there are some things we know one way or the sopranos never returning to our season other times when i throw in a peace agreement with the palestinians will not happen how this is like this has been a jewish home party position it's poised to take moving toward the same parliamentary seats analysts a little yahoo was still expected to serve another term is running scared he's up his rhetoric i say in the most clear of terms the western wall is not occupied territory i don't care what the un says he will build in jerusalem because it's all right not on your hands he could list has grown even more right when i was ready because like this woman high up in the pecking order. but the league would be taken

apart it is a party with values the state of israel is a state of the jews paternal capital. but what will be the implications of such rhetoric after the elections many israelis are asking themselves about the day after will netanyahu become more rightwing and risk drawing israel into conflicts with its neighbors or will he back down and risk losing face among his supporters. fact is hoping for the latter that netanyahu will listen to world opinion and reach a compromise with the palestinians he knows all too well what the current cycle of violence can bring speakers daughter was killed in a suicide bombing seventeen years ago. that we don't have unfortunately in the center and the left. leader who is significantly charismatic to lead this country and give its people hope the left is also divided but i do think who will find a way to compromise because of world pressure but that compromise won't come easy

enough to be bennett solution to the israeli palestinian conflict is to annex most of the west bank while allowing palestinians limited so fool in the richest and while that might not seem a plausible idea to most of the international community it's exactly what his constituency wants to hear a fact in a time yahoo is acutely aware of the r.t. television. our team will be closely following israel as it elects its next parliament. how will tension with to run develop will settle the expansion isolate can there be peace with gaza what's next in relations with america will that's when you know who survive his snuff election on january twenty second. israel decides on arts or. now he has financial woes that could well drag on for decades to come where the country predicted to fall out of the top ten economies by twenty fifty and that's one had turning possibility set out in

a report on global growth by consulting giant pricewaterhouse coopers professor of economics rodney shakespeare says there are some basic steps the u.k. can take to escape the doldrums. when you've controlled the banks because that registry out of control you say let them lend their own money and interest to do what they like but to open up an interest free loan supply from the national bank that's the one thing moving a king will not do and which the present government will not allow because it that smashes the power of the commercial banks of the present european community structure is obviously just and has no longer taking any concern of the of the the political interests and reactions of the peoples of europe it's not just the u.k. it's the people of france is the people of holland it's the people of ireland until they were deceived it's all the peoples of europe they want a new relationship in the political structure a pro the end of the activities of russia's former defense minister has led to

and miles of devastated businesses residential buildings and houses like this one a place some family probably used to call home now almost literally hanging by a thread with almost zero chance of ever being rebuilt few locals on the collapsed boardwalk most of them and dire need of help this man who chose to remain anonymous due to government related work survived hurricane katrina his hopes of recovery post sandy are meager never going to move you still go parts of alabama louisiana mississippi where it got hit with katrina. they've been touched yet after sandy hit and late october he spent over a month with no electricity heat or hot water and thirty degree weather raymer three times i feel the creation of three times our guts or politicians have their per hour he. the folks here that put him in office the least on the a list money looks better in your pocket then is spending it on something that may get washed

away again i had to replace my. water heater retired local roberta hof was currently burning building her walls floors emma stairs says the destruction after the hurricane has been immense we don't have a movie theater we don't have the hospital it's gone the banks and finally opening now it's two and a half months it looks like here as after a war or after no in afghanistan or something. and most of the help in hurricane affected areas has come from volunteers i didn't see too much of the red cross to be truth it was volunteers who have often been affected by sandy themselves like ayman use of from staten island actually it was like a foot on top of it that's how much it was the water his house deemed unsafe after the hurricane is about to be demolished the only think we need is the plants the funding. to get you know we we get in like two percent where we're going to get the ninety percent that's a mystery we need a check from god that's what we for

a month and a half a man lived in this tent where he also set up a help center for the community somewhere a lot of people coming there still six seven hundred people. a day six seven hundred yes yes. all of these people victims of sandy everybody around here go up to them they'll tell you the same thing they said you know they did hand me a sandwich and a blanket and i was in water up to my chest and they said hey see you later oh by the way i want to exit the truck occupy sandy a child of the occupy wall street movement has been a big part of the recovery effort to even praised by the n.y.p.d. what we have is a lot of people coming in here and not knowing where to turn and some of them are in tears and you know it's very hard to tell them that help is coming and you hear all this talk about that the nine billion this is the one doing that that would be a big help if it actually got to communities while politicians seem to have perfected the skill of arguing over how much cash to spend on relief aid getting

money and help to ordinary people who needed right now is clearly a skill that is yet to be learned and if they see churkin. new york. rush is warning that a currency world war is looming for the global economy the concerns were sparked by japan's move to lower the value of the yan in pursuit of better exports kazi fears of a massive chain reaction as other nations do the same or does it work is going off has the story. an economy not so far away that actually the global economy is on the verge of a currency war allow me to paint a quick picture for you in japan where the newly elected prime minister has been pushing for a more aggressive central bank policy has been dropping the yen went down by eleven percent since december meanwhile in europe the euro is rising and that's right despite the debt and eurozone crisis austerity measures and so on the euro grew by seven percent in the last six months and experts say europe has fired the first

shell e.u. financial of foodies warn the rise of the euro is threatening the economy so it is possible it will be deliberately dropped meanwhile across the atlantic the united states has been printing blocks for the last five years to support markets but that also makes the dollar cheaper in washington has been looking over the shoulder at china which was the majority of u.s. foreign debt and beijing is also accused of holding back the u. one the reason why they do that is the one currency is dropped the export becomes cheaper making the country more competitive obviously that's not greeted with applause by its competitors other countries which we tallied by dropping the very currencies so it's like a domino effect and the last time a major currency war happened was during the great depression in the one nine hundred thirty s. which resulted in a slowdown of international trade and all was part of the lead up to world war two but that's not all if the explorers become cheaper imports become more expensive so ordinary citizens can buy less imported goods and traveling abroad traveling abroad
